@smartomato You're welcome.
Here's a TL;DR about it
-Soil is a mix of microbe, fungi and "bugs" it's a food chain that self-balance.
-Plants are basically in symbiosis with microbes, fungi and "bugs"
-Depending on the amount amount of microbe, fungi of the soil by these entities will change how a plant thrive/grow in it.
-Vegetables grow better in a microbe dominated soil.
-Bushes & Trees grow better in a fungi dominated soil.
-Important note about the mycorrhizal family fungi:
There are a lot of mycorrhizal variants, but two family dominate Endomycorrhizal and Ectomycorrhizal.
https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Endomycorrhizal_fungi-Microbes are of three types, Aerobic (needs oxygen to multiply), Anaerobic (does not need oxygen to multiple) and microbes that are both of the two precedents.
-Anaerobic microbes (does not need oxygen to multiple) are mainly the microbes that bring deceases to the plants.
-Plants do not feed by eating the dirt, they feed by osmosis by feeding on the digested food of other microorganism.
-Plants attract microbes, fungi and "bugs" by secreting a form of gel around their roots.
-You can make compost that is dominated with Aerobic microbes.
-You can make compost that is dominated by fungi.
-Compost tea is a water mixture dominated by Aerobic microbes.
-You can make compost tea with composted dominated Aerobic microbe, an air pump and a air diffuser.

Teaming with microbes, Teaming with nutrients, and Teaming with fungi.
